Great service from entertain each to leaving. Was given nice birthday dessert as well. Only downfall is the place is so loud would be better to separate people using bar and people eating

Food was good but unfortunately the Service was very bad. Our order was forgotten, twice, and when we complained the waiter rolled his eyes at us.

We had a great time. My booking was last minute because my friend was visiting from New York. He is a foodie who also loves a great ambience and that is exactly what we got. Great customer service too. He returns to NY on Monday but I will definately eat there again.

Very disappointing. Over priced and not very good food. Disappointingly unauthentic atmosphere too. Won't be going back. Crispy duck that wasn't crispy and served like big wedges of meat. Shame really!

There were 5 of us in our group, the food was good but insufficient in quantity, the staff and service were very poor, I would not recommend the Buddha Bar.

Understaffed, got food before drinks, no one asked if we wanted to hang in our coats ending with one staff spilling a load of soy sauce over one of our jackets, and walked away without telling us! Can not be compared with the Paris Buddah Bar. Nice food though.

great food and lovely atmosphere upstairs and the service from the personal was great! If I should give some sort of complain it is that its much better atmosphere upstairs than downstairs, maybe you can do more downstairs :) other wise perfekt

Second visit. Food and service at an expected standard but drink prices ridiculously over priced. To the point of feeling ripped off! Due to this I will not be returning.

The astronomical prices for the mediocre food were not justified. I was at buddha bar dubai before where thr prices were absolutely justified. But this? I will not visit this restaurant again.

We had a mixed experience at Buddha Bar. The service was excellent and we enjoyed the music. Our table was in a room to the side which was plain and felt detached from the main dining area meaning we felt we were a bit removed and unable to fully appreciate the atmosphere. The food was very over priced for what is what. We eat a lot of Thai, Chinese and Indian food and whist it was nice for the money it should have been exceptional. we have paid less than half for much better meals. The Pad Thai particularly was bland and lacking in taste. When I pay fine dining prices I have high expectations and expect a meal to remember.

Overall, the experience was alright. The food was delicious and exotic as well as the drinks. Unfortunately, the service did not uphold the same class, especially in regards to the high prices. The waiters were not alert, the food was not served at the same time to the guests, they did some mistakes when it came to the orders as well as lacked engagement when it came to recommending and presenting the food. Even though there weren't any major misstakes, it still was a little bit too 'basic' for their reputation.

Buddah bar is really nice. Everything was great, the atmosphere, the music, the staff. I sat in downstairs in the restaurant, the food was delicious and amazing cocktails. I would definitely go again and maybe sit in the bar.. The bar looks really nice. Place very elegant but dress code is smart casual.

It was good. Pretty much what we expected. We have been to the one in Paris and also one in Monte Carlo - The London one had all the right ingredients. Probably a bit more expensive than expected but only by a little bit.

Service was slow and uninspired, across the board. Disappointing given we wanted to entertain clients. The experience did not live up to the great experiences we have had at Buddha bar in Paris in years past. Hollow brand name now?

Very good environment and food. The staff are very polite. Buddha bar is quite expensive (I would say slightly more expensive than similar restaurants). I was disappointed that the menus were old/in bad condition as for that price I would expect everything to be perfect.

Over rated. Poor service. Expect to call on your waiter a few times throughout your dinner. Food is average. Small amount of soy sauce is provided with your sushi. I would expect more at their prices!

The food and atmosphere was very good. The steamed vegetables were too salty and it is a bit overpriced for what it is. All in all a good experience and very helpful staff, but won't be going back any time soon.

Lighting too low and music too loud for a restaurant, that would have been forgivable if the food were stellar but it is not. Starters do not come with dipping sauces (that are necessary) and you are not told of that. When they are served you can order sauces for a fee. Servers go missing for a half hour at a time. Patrons lack refinement making for an overall unpleasant ambiance and experience. Such a shame as it could be much better.

the waitress was clumsy she had spilled drink on the table twice. There was no air con in the upstairs part of the restaurant so we were all boiling and sweating. The food was mediocre and was not worth the price tag. For £43 per head, I expected better tasting food and it was just so-so. Will not be coming back again. The decor was what made us want to visit however.

Fantastic setting, excellent location, super helpful staff. Attended for anniversary and at the point of booking they offered to write a special message on the dessert plate. It worked a treat. Top restaurant.
